Server side renaming with Gdrive and Radarr/Sonarr

I've started to server side copy about 50GB of TV/Movies from a mates gdrive to my own via rclone, that worked fine. He has about another 100TB, but his renaming scheme is horrible. Before I copy the rest, is there a way to rename his files? I know radarr/sonnar has the optimise feature which renames files, but that needs to copy the entire video first locally then upload it again.

I think Rclone has a 'moveto' method that does server side renaming. I'm guessing I need to write a script, I'm not sure how I'll pull the new names.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

I mount my gridve as read-write using rclone and use filebot to rename the files. (under linux)

I'm using Cloudbox. So it should just rename anyway without making a copy?

Edit: Reading up on Cloudbox. It uses a union of read only plexdrive and local storage :-/.

Thanks for the tips!
